Manchester United FC

[superkingdave]

anyway they are called "FC United of Manchester" apparently, they chose this name from a shortlist where the other names were, "FC Manchester Central", "AFC Manchester 1878" and "Newton Heath United FC"

They weren't allowed to have FC United as it was considered too generic by the FA

Are our reserves or youth players going to be loaned out to this side.

I don't think the Buccs will be having anything to do with these upstarts

 

[sledger]

laugh if they tried, the upstarts would have very little to do with them if the offer came along i expect.

 

[Craig]

Out of interest have they got a ground yet?

Would laugh if Fergie quit United and went to the upstarts since he was anti-Glazer as well (bet he has changed his tune to keep his job).

 

[Neil Pickup]

Won't need a ground - they'll groundshare with another Greater Manchester side like Bury, Altrincham or Stockport in the same way that AFC Wimbledon play at Kingstonian's ground.

Promoted from Isthmian League Division 1 to the Isthmian Premier League, which is two levels below the Conference - so the seventh level.

Give him a chance will ya. Although.......limiting the transfer budget like that may prove to be bad.

 

[sledger]

not to mention the huge rise in ticket prices that are planned, i think it was 50% or something stupid.
